Where are the mini-bosses and boss fights at?

[lher]

Where are all the mini-bosses and bosses encounters in Starfield? Multiple play through and I am only recalling the following encounters which are quite pathetic as far as mini-bosses/bosses encounters go. If I missed any it is because their encounters was a breeze or they simply died too quickly and I didn't considere them a mini-boss/boss encounter. Are there hidden gems I have not found yet? If not, I think it is time to let Starfield fall into the back burner. This game has been lackluster.

General:
I hear folks having difficulty fighting these battles, but strifing run and circling them within 2500-3000 meter is a cake walk in the park.

Va'Ruun Legendary Shroudbearer Ship battle - fun but too easy
Ecliptic Legendary Camulus Ship battle - fun but too easy
Spacer Legendary Blattodea Ship battle - fun but too easy

Legendary Wanted boss fights - meh, too easy...boring.
Starborn (single entity) temple encounter - 1 shot kill, meh, pathetic...boring.
Starborn (single entity) artifact fetch encounter - 1 shot kill, meh, pathetic...boring.

UC Vanguard:
Terramorph boss - 10 second fight, lackluster nothing memorable.
Terramorph boss #2 - 25 second fight, lackluster nothing memorable.
XW-99 Siren - 5 second fight.
Grylloba Queen - 20 second fight, nothing memorable

FreeStar Collective:
Maya Cruz - she is a mini-boss? ROFL...5 second fight
Marco Graziani - he is mini -boss? ROFL....5 second fight
Paxton Hull - he is a mini-boss/boss? ROFL...10 second fight
Ron Hope - dude is a mini-boss? ROFL...5 second fight

Yeah, there is not even a primary antagonist in the game (no Starborn arent real antagonists), it's too much time expect proper boss fights from Bethesda.

Build a Terminal in a level 75 area for may be more quests in higher systems. Choose another ingame difficulty.

What does the difficulty setting have anything to do with mini-bosses/bosses? I guess you haven't played the game set to the hardest difficulty setting? All timers from my post is played in hardest settings. 500+ hours on Xbox (NG+ 7) and 130 hours on PC.

With one of these, nothing in the game is a challenge.

That Starborn at the end who summons a bunch of clones of you is a boss? I guess? I don't know. He's the only Starborn that even uses a halfway interesting power against you and it still amounts to just more bodies thrown at you.

I didn't list The Hunter and The Emissary exactly because of that. I popped a Super Massive BlackHeart, scope them each in the head let off 3-4 rounds on each and poof...5 seconds later they were on the ground.

So the question remains. Where are the true Starfield mini-bosses and bosses encounters at?

He's not even the Hunter or the Emissary he's just some random guy. I persuaded them both not to fight me so I just ended up having to fight a couple random guys. I imagine fighting the Hunter/Emissary is just as lackluster.

Ah, you persuaded them not to fight. I simply chose the option to end them both and a fight resume which as said took all but five seconds when it got to the stage where they could be killed. Before the game allowed them to run away and hop around, popped a Super Massive Blackheart, head shots, and game over...lol. It was very lackluster as you mentioned.

The seconds it will take.

There are certainly fights in the game which can be challenging, depending on your gear and ability. I'm hardly an elite gamer by any stretch. However what defines a boss isn't just difficulty but a sense of importance and impact. By that measure yeah things come up short. Disclaimer, I do like and enjoy the game. That doesn't mean I'm blind to its shortcomings. I was legitimately confused the first time I beat it, wondering why on earth the credits are running when nothing consequential has happened.

The Hunter at low level was fun a long running fight through the city. i like how you can chat with the dood in various cities before this .

also yesterday at level 26 i was clearing out a base when 2 elite lvl 50 guys made me stop and plan the fight. toughest one yet..

also uc story has good fights with monsters if you do it low level.

[Arkham99]

you all go on about how "this isn't 1998" when it comes to graphics, mechanics, etc., but are all in on "boss fights"... make up your freakin' minds... do you want games to stay the same, or to evolve?...:-)

[Ladioz]

The game lacks boss, simple as that. It would be fun to know that each planet has its on 50 feet tall monster to kill. Each dropping different unique parts to building unique weapons or space gear... just an idea.......... even more fun if the boss was complex enough to allow a steam friend to drop into the boss fight session as a coop join

Using a extremely rare rifle to make a point, does not make the point you are trying to. Over 600 hrs in the game and I have yet to get a legendary Va'ruun rifle. And the epic and rare ones I have got, which are Advance ones, do not even come close to the damage stats on that one.

I also have max. Particle, Ballistic and Energy skill points. And the highest crafting skills. And using Isolation rank 4. How the hell are you getting that high of damage on that weapon? Nexus Mods? Or maybe the increase firing speed is effecting the damage?

When I take on a Level 98 Legendary Armored Mythic enemy on Very Hard, even using a rare max crafted Va'ruun rifle, it can take several shots to kill them. Meanwhile, if they get a crit on you, they can one shot you. Plus on occasion, they can have some high level enemies close to them.
